Herby Mushroom stuffing

Herby Mushroom stuffing, eat well on universal credit

Doesn’t quite work as stuffing balls as the mix was a bit wet. But this recipe really moves humble stuff to another level. Originally the ‘Stuffing’ was any odd wet mix of Oats and Herbs shoved in the cavity of a larger bird to flavour the meat and prevent it from drying out whilst cooking. It was not generally intended to be eaten.

We’ve moved on from Medieval cooking practices thankfully.

Ingredients:-

2 Tbsp of Olive based Margarine
1 Tbsp of Oil
5 Mushrooms, diced
1 Onion, diced
1 Tsp of Dried Sage
1 Tsp of Dried Thyme
Zest of a Lemon
1 Egg Beaten
100ml of Chicken Stock
50g of Breadcrumbs (Gluten free for us)
50g of Ground Almonds

Method:-

(1) Melt the Margarine and Oil in a frying pan.
(2) Add the Onions and soften.
(3) Add the Mushrooms and season with Salt & Pepper.
(4) Add the Sage, Thyme and Lemon Zest
(5) Add the Stock
(6) Allow to simmer until the liquid reduces.
(7) Remove from the heat at place in a bowl, allowing to cool.
(8) Add the Egg, Breadcrumbs and Almonds.
(9) Mix well and form into balls.
(10) cook in the oven on a lined tray at 180c for 30 minutes.

These had a strangely pleasing meaty mouth feel. If served as a tray bake they would probably be very interesting as a Vegan alternative for a “Meatless Loaf”.

Air Fryer Ribs recipe, eat well on universal credit

We intentionally bought these Pork Ribs for the recipe. So no yellow sticker gig going on last night!

Ingredients:-

600g of Pork ribs. These came as a rack, so I just cut it in half between two ribs
Oil to Fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Marinade Ingredients:-

½ An Onion, finely diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Tomato Puree
3 Tbsp of Tomato Ketchup
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce ( Gluten free in our case )
2 Tbsp of Henderson’s Relish
1 Tsp of Hot Chilli Jam sauce

Method:-

(1) Fry the Onions in a little oil on a low heat to soften.
(2) Add the Garlic and fry for a further minute.
(3) Add the Tomato Puree and stir in.
(4) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(5) Add the Ketchup, Soy Sauce, Henderson’s and Hot Chilli Jam and allow to simmer for 2 minutes.
(6) Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
(7) Coat the Ribs on both sides with the sauce, making sure that they are coated evenly.
(8) Place in the fridge for 2 hours or so.
(9) Heat the Air Fryer to 180c and cook the Ribs for 10 minutes.
(10) Increase the temperature to 190c and cook for a further 5 to 7 minutes, depending in the thickness of the Ribs.
(11) Remove and cover to rest.

To be honest we might be trying to ‘Boil Eggs in a solar oven in Iceland’ here. We’ve had much better Ribs cooked long and slowly in the conventional oven. However the was really good.
